This explains a lot to me when discussing guns here with liberals. I had never considered this as a reason for such paranoia and outright hatred of our 2nd amendment, yet apparently this is deep rooted in their persona and psychological makeup. I learn something new every day "A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity." --Sigmund Freud, General Introduction to Psychoanalysis (1952) Did Dr Freud .actually. say this? ________________________________ Apparently he did in the 10th Lecture of " A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis" (1916-17) In these other passages Freud associates retarded sexual and emotional development not with gun ownership, but with fear and loathing of weapons. ~Don B. Kates, Jr., Guns, Murders, and the Constitution -- A Realistic Assessment of Gun Control (Don Kates is a San Francisco criminologist and civil liberties lawyer). And it fits with the *phallic symbols* of dream interpretation..... All elongated objects, sticks, tree-trunks, umbrellas (on account of the opening, which might be likened to an erection), all sharp and elongated weapons, knives, daggers, and pikes, represent the male member. ~Sigmund Freud , The Interpretation of Dreams (1900) Chapter 6. Representation in Dreams by Symbols: Some Further Typical Dreams So , according to Freud a fear of guns equates with a fear of the erect penis....? And gun-lovers.....? The traditional Freudian theory is that men are very attracted to phallic extensions and they have a set of fantasies that originates in their bodies -- fantasies that tend toward power and aggression. There isn't a lot of organized psychological theory about the relationship between men and guns but in men's dreams, guns frequently play a role and, when they do, it is likened to the penis and all that that means to them. ~Dr. Nancy McWilliams, interview (1999) |

He also said this:

I knew there had to be a reason. This explains it. Definitely they have retarded sexual and emotional development. Many of they have no idea what they are. Straight, bi, gay or transexual. Too much pot smoking and acid dropping by their retard mothers. |

Wow,that's a stretch. Apparently I should also be in fear of all these, but I'm not. All elongated objects, sticks, tree-trunks, umbrellas (on account of the opening, which might be likened to an erection), all sharp and elongated weapons, knives, daggers, and pikes, represent the male member. ~Sigmund Freud , The Interpretation of Dreams (1900) Chapter 6.

Oh, and By The Way, I found this in Wikiquote, just below the "America" bit:

The difference being, one comment was related to his professional expertise and the other simply a point of view he held on another country. Nice try though. |
